To use the Administration and Configuration forms from a web browser, you must define an administration user name and password. Use the htadm command as follows:
htadm -adduser password_file username passwordFor the password_file, specify:
/usr/lpp/internet/server_root/protect/webadmin.passwdThe user name and password that you specify will be added to that file.
When accessing WebSM through a browser at AIX 4.3, you may log in as any user
who is allowed to log in remotely.
Login is handled by normal login and password authentication. No encryption is
performed, but this will change in version 4.3.2.
If a user is not allowed to log in remotely, that user will not be able to use
the "Become Administrator" (4.3.0) or the "Switch User" (4.3.1)
functions of the browser accesible WebSM.
WebSM provides no audit trails or logs to track activity.
Logins are not recorded in wtmp file and the use of the "Switch User"
function does not make an entry
in the sulog file.
NOTE: This is not an officially supported method but rather a workaround.
For a machine that will be taken off a network to stand alone mode:
Destination TYPE | net |
DESTINATION Address (dotted decimal or symbolic name) |
[your IP address] |
Default GATEWAY Address (dotted decimal or symbolic name) |
[your IP address] |
METRIC (number of hops to destination gateway) | [1] |
hosts = local, bind, nis
Distributed SMIT is a separate product that you can purchase. The CD-ROM is
labeled "Distributed SMIT for AIX 5696-902" (LCD4-0123-02).
The filesets to install for American English and POSIX follow:
dsmit.aix dsmit.com dsmit.mserver dsmit.msg.En_US.server dsmit.msg.en_US.server dsmit.server dsmit.server.dataAfter installation of these filesets, you will need to issue the command dsmit -init. Next, enter the administrator(s) and the password(s). You will then be asked if you want to specify a file for the list of the machines to be managed. If you choose no, you can enter the machines one by one. Next you will see some messages about security issues and deleting files. The exit from this screen returns you to to the command line. You can now run dsmit after the initial password entry. Now you can manage the systems entered as if you were in SMIT.
Rebooting an SMP system normally takes 45 minutes.
You can speed this up to about 10 minutes by not testing the resources. Enter:
mpcfg -cf 11 1This will only affect the next reboot and only works with SP's, such as G/R/J-30/40's.
To order refresh CD's call 1-800-879-2755 (US only).
